Installing EasyBuild in Python virtual env

You should install EasyBuild using Python and venv (virtual environment).


module load itm-python/3.10.13
python3 -m venv venv
module purge
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install easybuild


You can use a different version of Python. Remember to purge all unnecessary modules that can cause conflicts with new modules created by EasyBuild.

Installing EasyBuild using EasyBuild

EasyBuild can be installed not only within Python virtual environment, but also as EasyBuild created module.

So EasyBuild can be installed using EasyBuild (warning) 

This approach is not recommended by EasyBuild authors but much more convenient for the users, that may use the publicly available EasyBuild  system module

# To install the latest version of EasyBuild as a module into $HOME/easybuild:

eb --install-latest-eb-release --prefix $HOME/easybuild

# Load installed software
module load EasyBuild
